And Jade was elated and a little hyper because I was making dessert. This is our gingerbread strawberry shortcake fantasy that she ate immediately after the picture was taken.

Someone asked me the other day if I ever make mistakes in cooking. Well, yeah! There’s one below right now. I wanted to make strawberry butter but it turned out looking like jam roly poly or something. The butter refused to mix with the strawberries. I think it was because I used granulated sugar instead of confectioners’ sugar because I couldn’t be bothered to go to the store. Who knows? Maybe they don’t have confectioners’ sugar here. But I doubt that. I also used a food processor instead of an electric mixer. Oh well.

The “roly poly” was delicious, it just looked strange. I don’t blame Martha for this, it was totally my fault, because I couldn’t be bothered.
